SWEDISH FINANCE MINISTER GETS JUST DESSERT!
|
|
|
|
EU Finance Ministers were meeting in the
|
|
Swedish city of Malmö for the Informal ECOFIN
|
|
Meeting April 20 - 22.
|
|
Demonstrations, actions and lectures were all
|
|
planned in a mini counter-summit. Leading up to
|
|
the Stockholm events, the Swedish Finance Minister,
|
|
Bosse Ringholm, presented the spring 2001 Swedish
|
|
state budget. Processing on his way to the presentation,
|
|
Ringholm was pied, not only once, but twice. In a press
|
|
release, Stockholms Tårtbrigade (Stockholms Pie Brigade)
|
|
took credit for providing the early dessert. An irritated
|
|
Ringholm told news reporters that "This is the kind of
|
|
thing you do when arguments no longer work!" AFA-Sweden
|
|
commented by saying, "How right you are Mr. Ringholm!"
|

Hi, I'm prime anarchist and this is the e-zine for
|
|
Saturday, April 28, 2001. Or was it Sunday, Ap... or
|
|
Monday the first quarter moon... yeah, whatever.
|
|
First up we got the usual numbers and letters, than
|
|
we have some news oriented treats for you. Or was that
|
|
treat oriented news? Yeah, what he said. But even before
|
|
"first up," (yeah, so early he's taking warmup swings)
|
|
I've got:
|
|
|
|
PREDICTION:
|
|
Earthquake near Quebec on or before May 20 of this year.
|
|
College-Beer-Oriented Riots in Quebec by next Mardi Gras.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and this seems like the week of the "Open Letter" format.
|
|
You'll see what I mean shortly.
|
|
|
|
And now to the rest of my column.
|
|
Wonders never cease. Guess what error message I got today
|
|
in my Windows machine? "This is not a bootable floppy. Replace
|
|
and press any key when ready." Now I wouldn't bring this up,
|
|
because it's the right error for what was wrong. I had a floppy
|
|
in the A drive (which is at the top of my set priorities before
|
|
booting from the hard-drive.) which only contained txt files.
|
|
But I bring it up because every other time I've ever powered
|
|
this machine with a floppy in the A drive that didn't have a
|
|
command.com in it, I get any of half a dozen random, arbitrary
|
|
erroneous error message and I go, "oh yeah, right. That means
|
|
I have a floppy in there that's not bootable."
|
|
You ever worry right after something works RIGHT for the
|
|
first time of it's life?
|
|
I have to ask you about P.J. Squares. (t.m.) Made with
|
|
fresh roasted peanuts and fruit juice. 10 slices (1.2 oz. ea.)
|
|
Yes, that's 12 oz of something in a shrink-wrap that makes it
|
|
look exactly like kraft sandwich slices. You know, the kind
|
|
with so much preservative added to the casseinate that you
|
|
won't have to ever refrigerate them. Only THESE slices you
|
|
have to refrigerate. Hmmm. There must be some food in here
|
|
then.
|
|
Or is there?
|
|
Let's turn over the package for our answer. "What is a
|
|
PJ Square?" it asks, or more to the point suggests.
|
|
"Fresh roasted peanuts on one side and Strawberry on
|
|
the other. It's the quickest, neatest, easiest way to
|
|
make a P-nutty an' Yummy sandwich!"
|
|
This is apparently a busy parent's dream. Just slap
|
|
a piece of wonderbread on a piece of glad-wrap, open
|
|
up one of these slices of foodstuff, slap it on the
|
|
bread, take out one more piece of bread, fold up the
|
|
plastic, stuff it in one of those brown paper bags,
|
|
add apple or pear to taste and voila! Quick, easy lunch.
|
|
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
|
|
What the fuck are we doing to ourselves? This is a
|
|
perfect way to make our children ever so much MORE the
|
|
Columbine-leaning; and we don't even notice, do we???
|
|
DUMB, PEOPLE, DUMB. BAD MOVE. AN ASSEMBLY LINE FOR OUR
|
|
KID'S SCHOOL LUNCHES. YEAH, I KNOW. PERFECT. ALL THE
|
|
REASON TO HAVE 7.9 MORE CHILDREN. YES, THERE'S ALMOST
|
|
8 MORE SLICES IN THIS PACKAGE. Or wait, I'll keep the
|
|
2.1 I've got and buy one package a week. And yes, the
|
|
.1 child'll just have to feel left out once in a while.
|
|
I'll instruct that one to make a leftover turkey or
|
|
ham sandwich while I'm poppin' out these perfectly
|
|
popular PJ Squares.
|
|
But wait, there's an underlying revenge tucked in
|
|
this underdog scenario, isn't there?
|
|
"What did your mom make?"
|
|
"Boloney, see?"
|
|
"Oh, yeah, well at least she used Hellmans and
|
|
not that Miracle Whip, stuff."
|
|
"But I like Miracle Whip."
|
|
"Yeah? Then I'll trade you this Roast Beast and
|
|
Hellmans for your Baloney and Miracle... wait, what
|
|
did your little brother just..."
|
|
"I said, ALL I GOT WAS A FRIGGIN' SLICE OF PEANUT
|
|
HONKIN' APPLEJUICE THING ON TWO PIECES OF PROCESSED
|
|
FLOUR! MY MOTHER HATES ME, I'M GONNA..."
|
|
"No, put down that rocket launcher, Dylan, it's
|
|
not worth it. Don't risk detention, Dylan."
|
|
"Thad, she always loved you more. Who's gonna
|
|
trade me ANYTHING for a PJ Square friggin samwich???"

http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/30/deedee_omalley.html -
|
|
I believe the title song from her latest CD,
|
|
BEAUTIFUL L.A., will fit your format beautifully.
|
|
The song is an upbeat walk down the cynical side
|
|
of the music scene in L.A.
|
|
Deedee is a Star 98 Lilith Fair Contest Winner,
|
|
was voted #1 Female Independent Artist by Music
|
|
Connection Magazine, and is a featured artist on
|
|
LA Women in Music CD.

Give a listen to all the tunes.

SHARED PERSONAL LETTER TO BOB KERREY
|
|
|
|
Dear Mr Kerrey,
|
|
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
|
|
Thank you for your own personal healing.
|
|
Thank you for being the next big facilitator
|
|
in this vastly ill Nation's healing, and
|
|
thank you for finally allowing the families
|
|
of some of the people you've harmed that
|
|
they may begin healing also.
|
|
Toward the end of my military career,
|
|
I was home in Connecticut visiting my mom,
|
|
and sister, my girlfriend, etc. I happened
|
|
on a man on Route 1 in Mystic with a plate
|
|
in his head who was 100% disabled because
|
|
of shrapnel he'd taken during Nam. He
|
|
apparently has been holding two signs up
|
|
in Mystic and also in New London almost
|
|
every day since the late 70's without fail.
|
|
One sign says "No More Vietnams," and the
|
|
other, Mr. Kerrey, says "What About The
|
|
Children?"
|
|
I talked with him a little and found out
|
|
what made him tick, and asked him why he
|
|
was doing this. Mr. Kerrey, he handed me
|
|
a George Mizo poem.
|
|
This poem changed me so much I've done
|
|
two things since.
|
|
1) carried the poem he gave me in my
|
|
wallet for the rest of my life.
|
|
2) scanned it's tattered remains in as
|
|
a .jpg so I have it on the net.
|
|
|
|
It's at: http://flag.blackened.net/ati/mizo.jpg
|
|
in case you'd like to look at it, and I'll type
|
|
it in here in case you'd rather just see the
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
marco
|
|
|
|

|
|
and Kerrey replies:
|
|
|
|
And my thanks right back to you.
|
|
Bob

Don't blame ME for this one. I'm just passing it
|
|
along, since the concepts are interesting.

|
|
To be a good "Liberal":
|
|
|
|
1.. You have to believe the AIDS virus is
|
|
not spread by personal behavior choices
|
|
but by a lack of federal funding.
|
|
|
|
2.. You have to believe that the same teacher
|
|
who can't teach 4th graders how to read is
|
|
somehow qualified to teach those same kids
|
|
about sex.
|
|
|
|
3.. You have to believe that guns in the hands
|
|
of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat
|
|
than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the
|
|
hands of Chinese communists.
|
|
|
|
4.. You have to believe that there was no art
|
|
before Federal funding.
|
|
|
|
5.. You have to believe that global temperatures
|
|
are less affected by cyclical, documented changes
|
|
in the earth's climate, and more affected by
|
|
yuppies driving SUVs.
|
|
|
|
6.. You have to believe that gender roles are
|
|
artificial, but being homosexual is natural.
|
|
|
|
7.. You have to be against capital punishment,
|
|
but support abortion on demand.
|
|
|
|
8.. You have to believe that businesses create
|
|
oppression, and governments create prosperity.
|
|
|
|
9.. You have to believe that hunters don't care
|
|
about nature, but activists who've never been
|
|
outside of Seattle do.
|
|
|
|
10.. You have to believe that self-esteem is more
|
|
important than actually doing something to earn it.
|
|
|
|
11.. You have to believe the military, not corrupt
|
|
politicians, starts wars.
|
|
|
|
12.. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it
|
|
supports certain parts of the Constitution, while
|
|
the ACLU is good, because it supports certain
|
|
parts of the Constitution.
|
|
|
|
13.. You have to believe that taxes are too low,
|
|
but ATM fees are too high.
|
|
|
|
14.. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and
|
|
Gloria Steinem are more important to American history
|
|
than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee, or
|
|
Thomas Edison.
|
|
|
|
15.. You have to believe that standardized tests are
|
|
racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.
|
|
|
|
16.. You have to believe that the only reason
|
|
socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried,
|
|
is because the right people haven't been in charge.
|
|
|
|
17.. You have to believe conservatives telling the
|
|
truth belong in jail, but liars and sex offenders
|
|
belong in the White House.
|
|
|
|
18.. You have to believe that homosexual parades
|
|
displaying drag queens, transvestites and bestiality
|
|
should be constitutionally protected and manger
|
|
scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
|
|
|
|
19.. You have to believe that illegal Democratic
|
|
party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best
|
|
interest of the United States.
|
|
|
|
20.. You have to believe that a crucifix submerged
|
|
in urine is art, while a crucifix in a classroom is
|
|
a threat to our constitutional freedom.

LINER NOTES
|
|
"Most creepy about the Monday hearing [Jaggi Singh]
|
|
was the description of the infiltration of this political
|
|
collective. Police testified they had been surveilling
|
|
the group for several months. Aware that one guy was
|
|
looking for a job, they created a fake company and
|
|
advertised for a delivery person. He was hired and
|
|
found himself driving food between Montreal and Quebec
|
|
City -- with a cop in the same car! The two ended up
|
|
being "friends" and in this way the cop got access to
|
|
the whole group of anarchist militants, and participated
|
|
in the strategizing for the upcoming Summit.
